Grading of astrocytomas using a Quantimet 720 image-analysing computer.

چکیده
Cerebral astrocytomas and undifferentiated gliomas were graded by (1) Kernohan classification on the basis of visual microscopy, and (2) optical density/area profiles obtained by automated densitometry with a Quantimet 720 image-analysing computer. In a retrospective study of 44 patients the Quantimet measurements seemed to give a more accurate assessment of prognosis than visual grading.

Prognostic value of measurement of elastosis in breast carcinoma.
The extent of elastosis in the stroma within the anatomical "tumour" in 80 patients with breast carcinoma was assessed by observational microscopy using a 4-point grading system, and measured by semiautomated histometry as an area percentage with a Quantimet 720 image-analysing computer. In this retrospective study, measurement of elastosis in tissue removed at time of initial diagnosis was sho...
متن کاملBone marrow cellularity assessed by point-counting.
A simple method for rapid point-counting of bone marrow biopsies is described; the method gave an accurate assessment of cellularity in 100 aspiration biopsy specimens. Measurements of marrow cellularity by the visual point-counting technique correlated well with those obtained with a Quantimet 720 image-analysing computer.
متن کاملAssessment of cellularity in bone marrow fragments.
Bone marrow cellularity was measured using the Quantimet 720 Image Analyser in 50 biopsy samples. In haematologically normal subjects the percentage cellularity of the marrow was between 40 and 63%. Subjective assessment of cellularity was an unreliable indicator of the quantitative measure.
متن کاملEvaluation of Nuclear Morphometry and Ki-67 Index in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinomas: a Five-Year Study
Background and objective: Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (CCRCC) is the most common adult renal neoplasm. Staging and grading of RCC are important predictors of survival. Fuhrman nuclear grading is widely used for CCRCC, the subjective nature of which has prompted more objective methods to evaluate nuclear features. Furthermore, Ki-67, a reliable marker of cellular pr...
متن کاملComparison of two bone trephine instruments used for quantitative histomorphometry.
Transilial bone samples were obtained at necropsy using trephine instruments with internal diameters of 2 mm and 7 mm. Undecalcified histological sections were prepared and two structural histomorphometric variables (percentage of trabecular bone volume and surface density of bone) were estimated by a Quantimet 720 image analyser. The differences between the variables measured from the two adja...
